We got to visit Panama City Beach Florida this summer. It is an incredible place with many accessible options for families. We stayed at the Hampton Inn beachfront. Let me tell you—the view was absolutely breathtaking! Finding a truly accessible balcony is a rare gem, but this place nailed it. We booked a double queen suite, perfect for our crew with its two beds and fold-out couch. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. But, if I’m being honest, we hardly spent any time in the room. The hotel had so much to offer!
Accessible Pool and Beach
Their pool was a major highlight. The beach was also a highlight, especially since it has a ramp leading right down to the sand. The accessible features are excellent! Plus, there are several spots where you can get free beach wheelchairs on a first-come, first-serve basis. Some companies rent out power beach chairs if you need something more robust. We spent a day on the beach building sandcastles with friends and another entire day lounging by the pool. The hotel even has a poolside restaurant. It offers drinks and dining options for everyone. This makes it easy to relax and enjoy.
Traveling with kids means laundry is inevitable, so the two laundry rooms were a lifesaver. And let’s not forget the included breakfast! There’s nothing like starting a beach day without worrying about where to find breakfast. The staff at the Hampton Inn were fantastic. I want to give a special shout out to Nan at the front desk. She made our stay even more enjoyable. We can’t wait to return and soak up more of that beachside bliss!
Our evenings were equally delightful. The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange. We would gather on our accessible balcony to watch the spectacular sunset. The gentle sound of waves crashing against the shore provided the perfect soundtrack to our relaxing moments.
Nearby Attractions
We often strolled along the beach after the sunset. The cool sand was between our toes. The night breeze whispered through the palm trees. The hotel’s location made it easy to explore nearby attractions. We even found a few charming local eateries that offered delicious dishes. And even got to explore the Gran Maze with friends.
